Went to a Wedding Banquet which is just like attending a concert at the Coliseum in HK.
The banquet doesn't normally begin until 9pm.
Luckily, they have food for hungry guests before the banquet starts.
The food was average, but the fake fried rice was delicious because it was eggless and it wasn't cooked in a wok.
You could taste it was boiled rice mixed with msg, charsiu and shrimps just how the way they do it in Chinese Takeaways in UK, but in UK the fried rice is cooked in a wok before serving to give it that wok fried taste.

This is a great restaurant to go in Central for decent Chinese fare.
It offers good privacy while the staff there are very friendly and helpful.
They speak good English which is appreciated.
I love that chair at the reception because there are twigs and leaves encased and it almost looks like if it were made of glass but it is not.
Anyway, the food was fantastic, the Deep fried Bombay Duck with Spicy Salt was silky coated in a light batter.
The Sweet corn soup with crab meat and conpoy was light and I loved the way the conpoy gives it a rich unami flavour.
The Barbecued Kagoshima Chami Pork was chunky and succulent.
The glistening sauce was sweet and sticky.
I thought this was going to be spicy but it wasn't but as a Brit, Cod is always my fave fish.
The Deep fried cod fillet with soybean crust in Sichuan style was lovely and flakey complimented by the aromatic crispy soybean crust crumbs on top.
Next was the Stewed wagyu beef with onion, scallion and spring onion, it was so soft that you could separate the meat easily with a fork.
Finished with my favourite carbs, the Fried rice with pork belly and shrimp roe.
You can see all that delicious shrimp roe on every grain of rice.

Started the week with a good lunch box that was good for sharing.I had the Prime Rib Dip sandwich which comes with fries, soup and an apple.
The steaks here are always juicy and thickly sliced.
A great sandwich to sink your teeth into and the portion is quite big which makes it ideal for sharing.
The soup was hearty and filling with coarsely cut vegetables, barley and chunks of beef which gives it a comforting strong beef flavour.
I like the apple in the box because it is simply healthy and good for people who are too busy to buy or bring fruit to work.

Despite this restaurant is well hidden, it was extremely busy and almost full.

The menu was a bit repetitive, it was mainly baked stuff with cheese or just the standard stuff.

The cheese toast with uni was quite nice but rather buttery.

The pizza was really similar to the toast, again with the same cheese but it had truffle so there was some truffle taste, Again it was burnt as HKers love burnt and black things which is the norm.

The fried stuff was a bit disappointing as it was over fried.

Anyway, we were lucky we didn't get the table in the middle because there was something on the corner which made them jump!

The waiter had to finish it off for them!

Strangely I was attracted here by the possibly Cantonese style inspired chicken with five different sauces.
It is basically the same as Hainan chicken but served with mustard, soy sauce, chili sauce etc.
The beef noodles were really good as they taste different to other Taiwanese joints because there is some Sichuan flavours going on in the broth.
The squid looked different to the product shot.
It was quite bland.
Finished with the drink and the red tea turned out to be nicer than expected because there was Earl Grey infused in it which isn't the Taiwanese norm unless they gave us the wrong tea!

After a nights clubbing, all I can think of is a greasy Kebab but in Hong Kong, there are so many choices.
Cart noodles are not usually open this time of the night but LKF Cart Noodles is!

I had spinach noodles with Chinese radish and pigs blood jelly.
The broth was really strong and the spinach noodles absorbed it nicely.
Next time I am going to eat faster because I like my noodles with a chew.

The chicken wings were surprisingly good because it was evenly flavoured and soft.

The fish skins were a good snack to begin with and tastes even better when dipped into curry sauce or soup.

[Review 6379] The second branch of Burger Joys @ Burger Joys

When I found out there was a second branch of Burger Joys I decided to give it a visit and see if anything was different.
I was surprised to find out that the location was where Electric Ave used to be.
As they have just opened, they only have burgers and soft drinks.
The decor is going to change next week so I didn't take any pictures of it.
Had the fish burger combo which comes with fries and a drink.
The tartar sauce was really tart which balanced the fried fish filet nicely and there was lots of sauce.
Also had the mushroom burger which is vegetarian.
It was light and tasty.
The patty had a nice crunch on the outside.
